Members of Surrey Heath Choral Society travelled to Surrey Heath’s twin town of Sucy-en-Brie (outside Paris) to join with Chorale Saint Martin in a concert in the church of Saint Martin which dates from the 12th century.
The musical fare on offer was Haydn’s Little Organ Mass, Gounod’s Mass in G and Saint Saëns’ Oratorio de Noel (Christmas Oratorio).
Some of our members stayed in the homes of the French choir members and we all enjoyed a super meal together after the concert and a weekend of hospitality with Chorale St Martin.
Venue: Eglise Saint Martin. Sucy-en-Brie, France
Date: Saturday, May 7th 2005

Was unusual as we performed a work which had been hidden away for many years. The Holy Birth by F W Wadley is a musical nativity play and it took some work to discover the orchestra parts hidden in the basement of Novello/Chester music – not having been used for over 30 years.
